About the maker

Cotherstone Cheese is named after the village of Cotherstone in Teesdale, where this distinctive crumbly cheese has been made for centuries. It is one of only a handful of truly traditional English cheeses still produced in its original home.

Made from the fresh milk of local herds, Cotherstone has a clean, open texture and a fresh, slightly lemony flavour that deepens with age. It is sold at various stages of maturity, from young and mild to older and more complex.

A genuine taste of the North Pennines, and a treasure of British food heritage.
